The Hoggetowne Medieval Faire celebrated its 31st annual event at the Alachua County Fairgrounds.

Alachua County will request $7 million from the state at a meeting Jan. 30 for its $25 million fairgrounds relocation project. The plan features an indoor track facility, and the county hopes that the new location and the development of the old property will attract visitors and entrepreneurs to East Gainesville.

Officials say mosquitoes are swarming the Alachua County Fairgrounds due to rain brought by Hurricane Matthew.

A new, larger location for the Alachua County fairgounds will feature a new arena and auditorium to host a variety of events like graduations, sporting events and concerts.
